Countrified

Tune 1/2 step down

Intro: D G A G

I don’t need a whole lot of money,
But I wouldn’t turn the lottery down
I just need a little green in my pocket
So I can buy my buddies a round
All I want is a place to lay my head
With the woman I love lyin’ in my bed

Kind of understated
My dreams aren’t that complicated

I want to be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
Always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
I want everyone to gather round, and say
He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend

He was a good man

Used to dream of bein’ a rock star
And seein’ the world in style
Used to dream of havin’ a fast car
And drivin’ that miracle mile
But I’ve heard tell those streets aren’t paved in gold
They’re full of potholes and empty souls

Who never learn, love is something you gotta earn

I want to be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
Always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
I want everyone to gather round, and say
He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend

He was a good man

When I’m gone I want to leave a legacy
Of love and laughs and honesty behind me
Behind me

I want to be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
Always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
I want everyone to gather round, and say
He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend

He was a good man

Intro: D G (x4)

I told you when I met you

To dedicate my whole life to your life

To make sure you get all the love you deserve
It’s all about you

Get you tickets to the opera

I’ll take you on a Caribbean cruise
Buy you a hundred pairs of new shoes
Dress you up, diamonds, pearls and all that stuff

Everything that I do, it’s all about you
My mission in life, my purpose on earth

Intro C Bm Am Am-F 2 x

I put a for sale sign on the front of my truck
Said call anytime cause Im always up
Make an offer, one that I wo[-]nt r[-]efuse
I bought a one way ticket on a westbound plane
Four hours later I was wearing shades in California
Just ha[-]nging[-] loose

I didnt pack one memory
And even though im free

I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you[-] sti[-]ll ow[-]n me
Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
[F-Am]But baby, you [-]stil[-]l own me

Intro C Bm Am Am-F 1x

Verse

I was up all night cause I couldnt sleep
Instead of staring at the ceiling I hit the beach
Took a long walk, it didnt help me much
I sat down in the sand with a handful of shells
Kicked off my shoes while me myself and I watched
The sun come up

I didnt pack one memory
And even though im free

Chorus

Maybe Im not in your arms
(You own me)
But you still own my heart

Repeat Chorus

You still own me, yeah
You still own me

Outro C Bm Am Am-F

Intro: C Am F G

You don’t put a lot of make-up
You like to wear your hair pulled back
When the kids’ll call you come a runnin’
You always put yourself last
Most people would say

You’re an everyday woman, but you’re everything to me
You are so beautiful, you’re an angel I can see
And [G/B]I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna love you
Everyday woman

How do you juggle this busy life
And still have something left for me
I’ve asked God why I’m a lucky man
Who gets to live in your love’s strength
Maybe to this world

You’re an everyday woman, but you’re everything to me
You are so beautiful, you’re an angel I can see
And [G/B]I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna love you
Everyday woman

And [G/B]I’m gonna love you, I’m gonna love you
Everyday woman

Intro: D G D G

I watch the way he looks at you
He don’t see you like I do
He never speaks the words I long to say
He don’t know that what he’s got
Is everything I’ll ever want
I can’t keep this inside one more day

Chorus:
If you were my girl
My feet would never touch the ground
If you were my girl
My heart would shout your name out loud
I could conquer the world
If you were my girl

You’re the prayer I pray when I’m on my knees
The oxygen that lets me breathe
The flame that burns inside me all the time
Every note of a beautiful melody
The perfect rhyme in poetry
Baby, you are everything but mine

Chorus 2:
If you were my girl
My feet would never touch the ground
If you were my girl
My heart would shout your name out loud
There’s nothing that I could not do
If it was you I came home to
I could conquer the world
If you were my girl

Baby, I swear this flame will burn eternally
So keep your eyes open, jump on in
You will see what you need is me
If you were my girl

Break: G A D G A Bm D

Oh, I’d never want to see you cry
You’re with him and I don’t know why
What a different world
If you were my girl
I would conquer the world
If you were my girl

Outro: D

She was sittin’ on a park bench
Feedin’ pigeons on Beacon Hill
I was takin’ my dog Jack out for a run
We had a little time to kill
I still don’t know if it was Jack or me
That somehow caught her eye
But the next thing I knew we were sittin’ there talkin’
Laughin’ into the night
And from that moment on, she never left my side
Those autumn nights were long
She was the first love of my life

Chorus:
I still can feel the softness of her hair
Fallin’ on my face, my arms all around her
There’s always somethin’ ‘bout this time of year
That takes me to that place
And I remember
November

Verse 2:
She was workin’ her way through school
Waitin’ tables at the Hungry Eye
I was playin’ a club down on the waterfront
Afterward she’d come by
Around 3 AM we’d grab some takeout
In the heart of Chinatown
And we’d hang out and stay up all night long
Just talkin’ and messin’ around
I never would have dreamed, we’d ever say goodbye
She felt like the sun to me
On those cold November nights

(Repeat chorus)

Lookin’ back I can’t explain
What happened on that dark December day
I guess we were just two kids
Going different ways

(Repeat chorus)

Lazy yellow moon comin’ up tonight
shinning through the trees
Crickets are singing
and lightning bugs are floating on the breeze
Babay get ready
Across the Field where the creek turns back
by the ol’ stump road
Im gonna take you to a special place
that nobody knows
Baby get ready ooooh ooooh

(chorus)

You and me go fishin’ in the dark
Lyin’ on our backs and countin’stars
where the cool grass goes
down by the river in the full moonlite
we’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
just moving slow
Staying the whole night through
feels so good to be with you

Spring is almost over and the summer’c commin’

and the days are getting long
Waited all winter for the time to be right

just to take you along
Baby get ready
And it dont matter if we sit for ever
and the fish dont bite
jump in the river and cool ourselves
from the heat of the night
Baby get ready oooooh oooooh

(chrous)

You and me go fishin’ in the dark
Lyin’ on our backs and countin’stars
where the cool grass goes
down by the river in the full moonlite
we’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
just moving slow
Staying the whole night through
feels so good to be with you

(chrous)

You and me go fishin’ in the dark
Lyin’ on our backs and countin’stars
where the cool grass goes
down by the river in the full moonlite
we’ll be falling in love in the middle of the night
just moving slow
Staying the whole night through
feels so good to be with you

PLAY WITH CAPO ON 3RD FRET

Intro: A

Ridin’ restless under a broken sky
Weary traveller, somethin’ missin’ inside
Always lookin’ for a reason to turn around
Desperate for a little peace of mind
Just a bit of what I left behind
Well, I found it now, you’re like coming home

Chorus:
You’re like a Sunday mornin’, pleasin’ my eyes
You’re a midsummer’s dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin’ at the e[A/C#]nd of a long, long road
You’re like coming home
You’re like coming home
You’re like coming home

Go ahead let your hair fall down
This wanderlust it’s gone now
Here in your arms, I’m safe from the world again
These are the days that can’t be erased
Baby, there isn’t a better place
You’re like Heaven, you’re like coming home

Chorus:
You’re like a Sunday mornin’, pleasin’ my eyes
You’re a midsummer’s dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin’ at the e[A/C#]nd of a long, long road
You’re like coming home

You’re that innocence, that serenity
That long-lost part of me

Queen of the night, Life of the party,

It’s all an illusion,
You can’t hide, that big a heartache,

so stop the dillusion

Waitin for someone’s rescue,
My arms are right here for you,

(chorus)
Through the wind and the rain,
Through the laughter and pain,
Count on me, (count on me),
And When life isn’t fair,
And theres’ nobody there,
I will be, (I will be),
In a world of pretenders,
I am your defender,
And when it all comes down,
I’ll be the last one standing[-],[-]

This is for life, don’t ever doubt it,

I’ve already fallen,
And love is alive stand up and shout it,

They don’t look nothin like me,

Through the laughter and pain,
